Skating legend Tony Hawk recently shared details of an abandoned Space Jam sequel on Netflix’s The Pete Davidson Show.
The 58-year-old pro skater said he was approached for Skate Jam, a follow-up to the 1996 film starring Michael Jordan.
“The way that the whole story went down was I got a call saying, ’Hey, Warner Brothers is really interested in doing Skate Jam. And I was like, ‘That is the most amazing thing I’ve ever heard,’ right?
“My oldest son, when he was very young, watched Space Jam endlessly, and had to get Space Jam shoes, would quote it,” he added on the video podcast.
“And so, just being a father, I was, like, I know how much those movies resonate. To make it about skating would just be like the ultimate dream. They said they really want to get on this.
“They’re about to release Back In Action. That is the vehicle to reintroduce Looney Tunes, Warner Brothers back to the movies, and then we’re going to hit him right back with Skate Jam,” he claimed.
Tony said that the team were so keen, he met them in a restaurant in LA’s airport to discuss details of the project.
“I was leaving for Australia, and they said, ‘We really need to secure this – make sure you’re interested, make sure you like the outline of it,’ and so they met me at that LAX restaurant, and they presented me with storyboards, in the airport, in that restaurant.”
